    I’m working on a book layout in which my client wants to add callouts which appear near the outside margin of each page and are set off by a line above and a line below. I’m trying to think of a way to do this that does not involve a table with only the top and bottom stroke visible because the layout has to export to ePub as well as PDF for print.

    Clark,

    Create a Paragraph Style for your callout. In Paragraph Rules, check the Rule On box for both Rule Above and Rule Below. Use the Offset attribute to move the line to the desired location.

    Thanks Justin. Good idea for print, but the rules won’t export with the ePub.

    I have similar issue and I got to thinking that I could make a custom bullet: a really long line, and use that bullet in a paragraph style. IndyFont is how I would make the custom font.
